Richard Bangs' Adventure With Purpose: Egypt (Trailer)

http://bit.ly/bangse Follow Bangs up the Nile River and deep into the heart of ancient Egypt. Egypt is a vast desert; a searing sun beating down; inhospitable to man and beast. Rain almost never fell. But once a year the river magically surged with water, and with this annual flood, thousands of crocodiles washed into the lives of the ancient Egyptians. Death by crocodile was common. Richards goal is to catch a glimpse of this legendary creature in the wild and along the way come to know the powerful god he inspired thousands of years ago. From Alexandria to Cairo, from the Great Pyramids at Giza, to the Valley of the Kings, Richard explores the way the Nile and its fearsome Lord molded a society. Further upstream still, Richard visits a temple dedicated to Sobek, the Crocodile God, and seeks the beast himself in the waters of Lake Nasser.As time and technology changed, the Lord of the Nile slowly disappeared. Hunting, pollution and the Aswan dam robbed the river of its ancient consort. Today there are reports that crocodiles are making a miraculous return in the south of Egypt. Richards goal is to catch a glimpse of this legendary creature in the wild and along the way come to know the powerful god he inspired thousands of years ago.
